BananaGrams:
Bananagrams, the hottest selling game of 2008, is a fast-paced, addictive
word game. Bananagram's is simple to learn and everyone plays as the same
time so there is no waiting for turns. Each person in the family or group
plays at their own level, using their tiles to form individual crosswords.
The resulting race to grab more tiles and rearrange already-laid letters
into new words is fun and addictive. A bright yellow banana bag holds the
tiles and rules, making it perfect for building vocabulary and practicing
spelling skills at a restaurant, camping or at the kitchen table during
impromptu marathon sessions. It's a great travel game and has won numerous
awards in the short time it has been available. 144 tiles. 2 to 8 players.
